Well Netanyahu did pull Trump into this.

Well I guess if nothing else it gets Trump to the mid terms. Depending on how all that goes he can always revisit it and test whether he has the power to command the military or not.

The left - Trump can’t bomb Iran. Trump must solve through diplomacy.
The left - Trump lost the war. Trump made a bad deal. Trump is weak ( because the left does not support the use of real American military power) and Iran out maneuvered Trump which is the inevitable conclusion when the left does not allow the use of our best negotiating tool which is our military.
What a joke.

Milam staying and the second baseman from Florida coming, almost makes Hawsey impossible, especially if Jay really sees Braun projected at 1st base. If I was him I would go to where I could play and as it stands right now there is not a lot of room for him to be an every day player at LSU next year.
This makes the only real infield position open at 3rd base. If the guy from Texas State or if Ruckert shows more range and athleticism than Pearson with an adequate batting average, that may basically delegate Pearson to a rotation DH role or a rotation at 3rd.
It's possible they could rotate Serna on some days he is not catching at first base if they need to find him more playing time when not catching or at DH to get Pearson reps at DH.
Point is there does not appear to be room for a 1st baseman. Unless for some reason they decide to send Braun to the outfield. But he was recruited and projected at 1st base and the outfield he played this year was mostly to get him on the field because he was highly recruited and Jay wanted to get him at bats and to develop at the plate early.

We have Braun and Serna and Arambide to keep happy. between catcher and maybe first if they give Serna some reps there to keep him happy.
Then if Pearson doesn't look more mobile at 3rd, you have him in the DH role.
So we really do not need another first base type, bigger guy and power hitter as we already have these 4 guys competing for those reps possibly, depending on how third base shakes out.

It seems like the helicopter incident is more of an unplanned collision (coincidence) than an intentional shoot down.
S end like they both ended up at the same place at the same time at low altitude at night

Every Friday Iran says they are about to sign a deal.
Every Sunday night or Monday morning Iran says no deal.
Hasn’t Trump figured out the pattern. Has he lost his balls?
They seem to think that Trump would strike on Friday night or Saturday after the markets close and continue to hedge against it.

The islands won’t absorb it. IS troops on the islands will.
One wants to be used as cannon fodder. They won’t have access to bunkers there.

We were excited because Yorke was a first baseman and we needed a first baseman and there were not any available.

Is that island in artillery range from the mainland of Iran? Or the mountains?

Israel is not attacking Lebanon they are attacking Hezbollah who has taken Lebanon hostage in Lebanon.

He should send Trump a list of locations of the problems.
Either he wants the people to back him or he wants to get out alive if we bomb again.

Maybe someone was just trying to sell a sick bull. How do we know Rip was targeted? I would they know he was going to that sale to buy a bull?

For Beulah to be behind it, she would have had to have known that they were going there to buy a bull. And if you have a prize heard of cattle with 100 years of superior genetics, you are not going to the Rio Paloma stock sale to buy a bull to breed for superior beef for sale at high prices. You would be going and buying a highly regarded bull from a highly regarded herd either through a personal sale or a stock sale with high grade animals.
Also, you would usually quarantine the bull and a lot of these folks would have the bull checked out by their private vet. If Rip was selling prized horses for John, he would know a little bit more about this.
I thought this episode was strange. Where is Beth going now, is she going to the 10 petal for help to either buy cattle to fill or meat contract or replace the herd?
The scenes with the boy hanging out with this crazy rancher was strange. The school would have probably called Beth if he did not show up for class and just how long would he think he could get away with working all day instead of going to school. They have never had any trouble with the kid so maybe they are setting it up for him to rebel and go live with the guy or something. That part was kinda silly.

They set up a TFR through the FAA for Camp David. It was not a secret.

Only way to end this is to kill some of the guys we are negotiating with and see if the others realize it would be smart to change their mind.

It’s not a deal. It’s a memorandum of Understanding.
It’s a word salad that Iran will exploit to drag this out indefinitely.

First they said we won’t talk until you stop bombing.
Now they say we won’t talk until you agree to give us billions and we won’t talk about certain things.
There is a pattern here.
It is starting to look like we have two options. Commit troops or take the Japan option and start nukeing whole cities until the capitulate.

We needed a first baseman and there was not a lot available.
He had experience and a decent batting average.
